Bluebird

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been going down that long lonesome road, man And I've been doing it for a while I've been going down that long lonesome road, man Looking for a special smile Now I work the bars, New York to Frisco I could never make it pay You know how money goes, it slips right through your fingers One more dollar, one more day [Chorus] The bluebird he has no money The bluebird he has no kin The bluebird he wears no time-clock He answers to the wind [Verse 2] I've been going down that same old road, babe Like the world I'm adding on some years I've shoved a hundred million quarters in the jukebox I've served a barrel full of beers Now I've listened to some troubles in my lifetime I've seen a lot of grown men cry You know that old tune called "Over the Rainbow?" Well, if the bluebird flies, then why can't I? [Chorus] The bluebird he has no money The bluebird he has no kin The bluebird he wears no time-clock He answers to the wind [Verse 3] I've always lived my life like there ain't no tomorrow Yes I always have and always will Behind me all my yesterdays go stretching out like boxcars Disappearing round some hill Now, I always thought that life was for living But nothing is as easy as it seems Well, I wished I was a bluebird flying I guess I'm always trying to find a rainbow in my dreams [Chorus] The bluebird he has no money The bluebird he has no kin The bluebird wears no time-clock He answers to the wind
